Safety GuidelinesFollow these guidelines to enhance your safety:● Perform all routine and regular inspections

specified in this manual.● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame

away before filling the fuel tank.● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly

enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.

It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective apparel significantly reduce the number and severity of head and other injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. 2 P. 11

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused and free of alcohol and drugs. Check

that you and your passenger are both wearing an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding onto the grab rail or your waist, leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.

Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this motorcycle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the motorcycle’s size and weight.

Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an evasive maneuver.

torcycle Safety


Make yourself more visible, especially at night, by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling before turning or changing lanes, and using your horn when necessary.

Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and inattention can impair your ability to use good judgement and ride safely.

Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. Don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.

It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition.Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 16), and do not modify your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 15).

Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.

If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks,

torcycle Safety


Riding Precautions

During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your motorcycle’s future reliability and performance.● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.● Ride conservatively.

Observe the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and down-

shifts.u Sudden braking can reduce the

motorcycle’s stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.

u The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces and braking distances are longer.

● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes can seriously overheat the brakes, reducing their effectiveness. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate both the front and rear brakes together.

Riding PrecautionsM

oto

rcycle Safety


❙ Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your motorcycle down when you release the throttle. For further slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed when descending long, steep slopes.

❙ Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet brakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wet conditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while riding at low speed to help them dry.

● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on an incline or loose

surface, park so that the motorcycle cannot move or fall over.

● Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot come into contact with flammable materials.

● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and other high-temperature parts until they cool down.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the handlebars and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

❙ Parking with the Side Stand or Centre Stand1. Stop the engine.2. Use the side stand

Push the side stand down.Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.

Use the centre standLet down the centre stand, stand on the left side of the motorcycle. Hold the left handle grip and the left grab rail. Press down on the tip of the stand with your right foot and, simultaneously, pull up and back.

3. Turn the handlebars fully to the left.u Turning the handlebars to the right

reduces stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key. 2 P. 25

Follow these guidelines to protect the engine and catalytic converter:● Use only unleaded petrol.● Use recommended octane number. Using

lower octane petrol will result in decreased engine performance.

● Do not use fuels containing a high concentration of alcohol. 2 P. 95

● Do not use stale or contaminated petrol or an oil/petrol mixture.

● Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Importance of Maintenance

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is absolutely essential to your safety and to protect your investment, obtain maximum performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air pollution. Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. Be sure to inspect your motorcycle before each ride, perform the periodic checks specified in the Maintenance Schedule. 2 P. 37

Always read the maintenance instructions before you begin each task, and make sure that you have the tools, parts, and skills required. We cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

Follow these guidelines when performing maintenance.● Stop the engine and remove the key.● Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface

using the centre stand or a maintenance stand to provide support.

● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before servicing as you can get burned.

● Run the engine only when instructed, and do so in a well-ventilated area.

Maintenance Fundamentals

To ensure safety, it is your responsibility to perform a pre-ride inspection and make sure that any problem you find is corrected. A pre-ride inspection is a must, not only for safety, but because having a breakdown, or even a flat tyre, can be a major inconvenience.

Check the following items before you get on your motorcycle:● Throttle - Check for smooth opening and

full closing in all steering positions. 2 P. 58● Engine oil level - Add engine oil if

necessary. Check for leaks. 2 P. 62● Drive chain - Check condition and slack,

adjust and lubricate if necessary. 2 P. 65

● Brakes - Check operation;Front: check brake fluid level 2 P. 70 and pads wear. 2 P. 71Rear: check shoes wear 2 P. 74 and freeplay, adjust if necessary. 2 P. 72

● Wheels and tyres - Check condition, air pressure and adjust if necessary. 2 P. 47

Your motorcycle has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not have to check the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water. Clean the battery terminals if they become dirty or corroded.Do not remove the battery cap seals. There is no need to remove the cap when charging.

This symbol on the battery means that this product must not be treated as household waste.

❙ Cleaning the Battery Terminals1. Remove the battery. 2 P. 572. If the terminals are starting to corrode and

are coated with a white substance, wash with warm water and wipe clean.

Battery

NOTICEYour battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently damaged if the cap strip is removed.

NOTICEAn improperly disposed of battery can be harmful to the environment and human health.Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal.

3WARNINGThe battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.

A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or seriously hurt you.

Wear protective clothing and a face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery servicing.

3. If the terminals are heavily corroded, clean and polish the terminals with a wire brush or sandpaper. Wear safety glasses.

4. After cleaning, reinstall the battery.

The battery has a limited life span. Consult your dealer about when you should replace the battery. Always replace the battery with another maintenance-free battery of the same type.

Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your motorcycle. If something electrical on your motorcycle stops working, check for and replace any blown fuses. 2 P. 91

❙ Inspecting and Replacing FusesTurn off the ignition switch to remove and inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown, replace with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse ratings, see “Specifications.” 2 P. 105

NOTICEInstalling non-Honda electrical accessories can overload the electrical system, discharging the battery and possibly damaging the system.

Fuses

NOTICEReplacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chance of damage to the electrical system.

If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an electrical fault. Have your motorcycle inspected by your dealer.

Engine oil consumption varies and oil quality deteriorates according to riding conditions and time elapsed.Check the engine oil level regularly, and top off if necessary. Dirty oil or old oil should be changed as soon as possible.

❙ Selecting the Engine OilFor recommended engine oil, see “Specifications.” 2 P. 104

If you use non-Honda engine oil, check the label to make sure that the oil satisfies all of the following standards:● JASO T 903 standard*1: MA● SAE standard*2: 10W-30● API classification*3: SG or higher

*1. The JASO T 903 standard is an index for engine oils for 4-stroke motorcycle engines. There are two classes: MA and MB. For example, the following label shows the MA classification.

*2. The SAE standard grades oils by their viscosity.*3. The API classification specifies the quality and

performance rating of engine oils. Use SG or higher oils, excluding oils marked as “Energy Conserving” on the circular API service symbol.

Fuels Containing AlcoholIn

form

ation


Fuels Containing AlcoholSome conventional fuels blended with alcohol are available in some locales to help reduce emissions to meet clean air standards. If you plan to use blended fuel, check that it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

The following fuel blends can be used in your motorcycle:● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) 10% by volume (max).● Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed

under the name Gasohol.● Methanol (methyl alcohol) 5% by volume

(max) that contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Never use a blend containing more than 5%.

The use of petrol containing more than 10% ethanol (or more than 5% methanol) may:● Damage the painting of the fuel tank.● Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.● Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.● Cause poor drivability.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms or performance problems, try a different brand of petrol.

NOTICEUse of blended fuels containing higher than approved percentages can damage metal, rubber, plastic parts of your fuel system.

Catalytic Converter

96

Info

rmatio

n


Catalytic ConverterThis motorcycle is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter. The catalytic converter contain precious metals that serve as catalysts in high temperature chemical reactions that convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gasses into safe compounds.

A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution and can impair your engine’s performance. A replacement unit must be an original Honda part or equivalent.

Follow these guidelines to protect your motorcycle’s catalytic converter.● Always use unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol

will damage the catalytic converter.● Keep the engine in good running condition.● Have your motorcycle serviced if your engine

is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise not running properly, stop riding and turn off the engine.

Caring for Your MotorcycleIn

form

ation


Caring for Your MotorcycleFrequent cleaning and polishing is important to ensure the long life of your Honda. A clean motorcycle makes it easier to spot potential problems.In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion. Always wash your motorcycle thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated roads.

Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before washing.1. Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a

garden hose to remove loose dirt.2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel

with mild cleaner to remove road grime.u Clean the headlight lens, panels, and other

plastic components with extra care to avoid scratching them. Avoid directing

water into the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.

3. Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle with plenty of clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

4. After the motorcycle dries, lubricate any moving parts.u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the

brakes or tyres. Brake discs or pads contaminated with oil suffer greatly reduced braking effectiveness and can cause a crash.

5. Lubricate the drive chain immediately after washing and drying the motorcycle.

6. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.u Avoid products that contain harsh

detergents or chemical solvents. These can damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your motorcycle.Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.

u If your motorcycle has any matte painted parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the matte painted surface.

❙ Washing PrecautionsFollow these guidelines when washing:● Do not use high-pressure washers:

u High-pressure water cleaners can damage moving parts and electrical parts, rendering them inoperable.

● Do not direct water at the muffler:u Water in the muffler can prevent starting

and causes rust in the muffler.● Dry the brakes:

u Water adversely affects braking effectiveness. After washing, apply the brakes intermittently at low speed to help dry them.

● Do not direct water under the seat:u Water in the under seat compartment can

damage your documents and other belongings.

● Do not direct water at the air cleaner:u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the

engine from starting.● Do not direct water near the headlight:

u Any condensation inside the headlight should dissipate after a few minutes of running the engine.

Aluminium will corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean aluminium parts regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid scratches:● Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or

cleaners containing abrasives.● Avoid riding over or scraping against curbs.

Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches and blemishes:● Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty

of water.

● To remove stubborn stains, use diluted detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.

● Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or detergents on the instruments, panels, or headlight.

When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, do not use a commercially available abrasive kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral detergent to clean the painted surface on the exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, contact your dealer.

Storing Your MotorcycleIf you store your motorcycle outdoors, you should consider using a full-body motorcycle cover.If you won’t be riding for an extended period, follow these guidelines:● Wash your motorcycle and wax all painted

surfaces (except matte painted surfaces).Coat chrome pieces with rust-inhibiting oil.

● Lubricate the drive chain.● Place your motorcycle on its centre stand and

position a block so that both tyres are off the ground.

● After rain, remove the body cover and allow the motorcycle to dry.

● Remove the battery to prevent discharge.Charge the battery in a shaded, well-ventilated area.u If you leave the battery in place,

disconnect the negative - terminal to prevent discharge.

You & the EnvironmentOwning and riding a motorcycle can be enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect the environment.

Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash your motorcycle. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone layer.

Put oil and other toxic wastes in approved containers and take them to a recycling centre.Call your local or state office of public works or environmental services to find a recycling centre in your area, and to get instructions on how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes. Do not place used engine oil in the trash, or pour it down a

drain or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, coolant, and cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers and contaminate drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans.
